The people that do the security are the same as me and you. They dont care and I dont see MTV doing anything for security. That said my action will be double stashed.
I just have never had an issue doing whatever the quack I want at Bonnaroo, I am 30 but I have long hair, and some tats. I mean the no glass rule makes a lot of sense, and is really a blessing for the community imo. Also I have never been more than halfheartedly patted down going into centeroo. Maybe a little worse last year, but nothing I could not deal with.
Never had a problem laying my hands on one at 'roo. I usually just buy a cheap one for the weekend while I am there. They always have a good selection of 10 dollar tobacco smoking devices.

well those security people arent like me. if they were your double stashing would be unnecessary. and most of the security at roo is recruited off of college campuses. and a ton of them are frat boys. ive talked to plenty of them and its usually the case. its how these security companies find their people. if there is no difference between frat living and festie living then i guess i need to quit hanging out with lucy because i see all sorts of differences.
and if you couldnt see the differences in shakedown and the glass pipe situation then your probably one of the people that have their head in the sand about all the other changes at new roo. "Roo is great!! nothings changed, its only better . go roo!! "
seriously shakedown sucked. maybe you could find some glass out in the back forty. but it used to be EVERYWHERE!!!!! shakedown used to be 3 or 4 streets full of glass. if you cant tell that has changed then i feel for you, it must be rough living life with those blinders on. poop vendors had buds labeled in baskets on their tables in 04. in 07 vendors were getting their cash and inventory taken for smoking a bowl at thier table or even for just having a dirty pipe on them. pipes shouldnt have to hide out at fests. and they didnt have to until this year at roo. why cant people just say hey things have changed and i either like or i dont. maybe you dont mind searching around a farm while there are hundereds of better things to be doing just to find some glass. but it bothers me. why is it always. "unnt uhhh.... thats not true. you didnt look hard enough and your a whiner" wtf??? its festie land!!!!! i shouldnt have to look!! i could find balloons in my campsite 24 -4 but i need to walk around searching for pipes? good work roo security!!!!! poop man there were even tanks at the stage for string cheese!

Leave it to a hippie to whine about having to walk a bit more to find a pipe. Seriously, Do I need to tell you again that the sh!t you're talking about is illegal? and you're pissed that it's not in your face everywhere? come on now.
and yes, there was a change last year. Superfly bought the farm. As property owners rather than leasees, they have a whole new liability situation as land owners with the local authorities, and that means making a bit more of an effort to keep illegal activity under wraps. If that means moving pipe vendors 100 yards away from the main shakedown (And trust me, it was not to far from 3rd street) than so quacking be it. If you really want Roo to be more smoker-friendly, I suggest you get off your whiny ass and work for legeslative change for legalization. and you may want t6o quit the apathy and start voting for pro-legalization candidates. Oh...I forgot, you don't vote either. You just b!tch.

Hopefully after Roo security studies this thread, they'll correct all the mistakes that have been pointed out here and this year everything will be adjusted to better meet the needs of everyone who would like to be accommodated by security.

I've never had trouble finding glass. Never. Security hasn't hassled me at the gates at all. I usually have a big blanket in my backpack and once they look in and see that.....rather than hold the line up and have me take everything out they just let me go in.
I heard we're getting our vehicles x-ray scanned & anal probes this year...
thanks for the heads up. I'll remember my KY.
Not allowed without a prescription.
Seriously, though, security has become tighter as the festival has become bigger and land ownership has changed. That said, we have never lacked for the tools we needed to have a good time whether we bring them in or buy them there.
The fact is that there are laws governing even festivals and if the promoters don't make a gesture to look like they're trying to enforce them, it could draw the attention of much stricter authorities than the yellow shirt guys. (FYI, you can't legally purchase exotic tobacco smoking implements where I live.)

Exactly!!!! Thank You. Karma +1
and part of that gesture is making sure the festival's official vending strip doesn't look like a giant outdoor head shop.
